The Broken Road Leading to “Golden”: Making Everything Beautiful in it’s Time

The real-life story of the voice behind Rumi’s incredible singing performance in KPop Demon Hunters is as inspirational as the fictional tale told in the movie… Kim Eun-jae trained for ten years in the hopes that she would become a pop star, and when that didn’t happen she moved on to writing songs for others. But in the process of writing and developing the songs for this movie, it was her voice that was chosen to perform the now-iconic lead vocals for Rumi. Years after she had given up hope, her voice carried the movie to the top of Netflix and it’s soundtrack to the top of the charts, making “Golden” the number one song on the entire planet. Her destiny was intact all along… it was just waiting for the right timing and the alignment of the perfect project, partners, and platform to impact the world.

In His infinite wisdom, the Lord has a perfect season as well as a very good reason for the space between when He places dreams into our hearts and when He fulfills them… while we may become impatient or frustrated at what we perceive as delays, only the Lord can see the hidden variables in the equation that lie far beyond our limited perspective. Don’t lose hope in your current situation, even if the wait is long… He makes everything, even those moments that are hard to understand, beautiful in their time.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay long. Habakkuk 2:3
